Till We Run Out Of Road Lyrics
It's leavin' time again
I'm headed out with all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice about the way I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out for every dime
Working in an office building tall
Don't know who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer is a test
Only time will tell
Brings you close, man
Closer than hell
CHORUS
We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road
The other day I talked to Lou
He quit back in '92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best times we ever had
He said, "Give it hell till the end
'Cause once you quit you can't get it back again"
CHORUS
Expensive cabs and shitty food
Washed down with cancelled flights
Missed wake-up calls
Missed holidays
You miss your boy and wife
All the late night drives that cause the dawn to strike you like a knife
Hey man, this is a beautiful life
CHORUS
I'm headed out with all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice about the way I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out for every dime
Working in an office building tall
Don't know who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer is a test
Only time will tell
Brings you close, man
Closer than hell
We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road
He quit back in '92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best times we ever had
He said, "Give it hell till the end
'Cause once you quit you can't get it back again"
Washed down with cancelled flights
Missed wake-up calls
Missed holidays
You miss your boy and wife
All the late night drives that cause the dawn to strike you like a knife
Hey man, this is a beautiful life

The beginning of the song reminds me of like a roadtrip with my friends. I love this song
i so love this song. Its one of my favorites
This song is not only one of my favorites but it has such special meaning to it. To me its a song about how we take the everyday things in life for granted.We want time to move by WAY too fast. We think that our lives are horrible and tiring when really we are living the best years of our lives. "I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding." ~Steven Wright
This seems to me to be about some very intense job. I relate it to the time I spent working as an EMT... somewhere where you aren't just cramped away in an impersonal office, but where you have to know and trust your coworkers and bear the blood and sweat together... the job is so tough and forces you to make sacrifices and you think of quitting but in the end you will miss it.
